Hello everybody,
I tried to download rpm packages several times from several different
websites such as nrpms or adobe.com and others using Firefox 1.0.6 but
when I click on to the rpm link which should usually start the download
instead firefox attempts to open and download the file using Real
Player.
Is there any particular settings I can reset to change this behaviour?
The problem is at the other end. It is possible to remove any
RealPlayer
stuff from your end, and never play any more RealPlayer Movies (rpm), or
you can right-click on the link and choose "Save Link As".

This method does not work with Adobe and the download of AdobeReader.
What you are presented with is not a link and no Save Link is displayed
when you right click on the Download button. It is infuriating to say
he least.

As Tony correctly stated, the problem is not with your configuration
(indeed, it is behaving properly), but with the web server sending the wrong
MIME type. Perhaps you could copy the link and wget the RPM or something as
a workaround?

You can also use an ftp client to download the file/files from
ftp.adobe.com ;-)
